When Netflix announced late last year that it was working with Zach Galifianakis and Scott Aukerman to transform their Emmy-winning webseries Between Two Ferns into a movie, it was met with…well, not skepticism, exactly, because Galifianakis and Aukerman have built up enough goodwill over their years of deeply uncomfortable celebrity interviews in order for fans to trust that whatever they ended up making would be true to the series’ engagingly hostile tone. But confusion, to be sure. Between Two Ferns is a very pure concept, after all: Man passive aggressively (and also aggressive-aggressively) interviews famous people, famous people punch back, sometimes a sitting U.S. president is there. How do you expand that to feature length?
